The service was great! The procedure was clearly explained and performed. My experience at Bright Now was an awesome one. When it comes to the cleaning: wow, my teeth never felt cleaner before. I will go there again for all dental needs.

Everyone is very nice and the dentist really takes her time and explains everything to you. That’s just a courtesy that we don’t get anymore these days.

I was absolutely terrified about going to the dentist, but from the moment I walked in, the entire staff put me at ease. They were so patient, kind, and understanding about my fears, which made a huge difference. The procedure itself was surprisingly pain-free, which I honestly didn’t expect at all. I walked out feeling a lot more confident about future visits. If you're nervous about going to the dentist, I highly recommend this practice! They truly make a stressful experience much more manageable. Thank you to the staff: Kathy, Melissa and Dr., for everything! Five stars without a doubt!

My husband and I had a great experience here! Sandra was very kind and thorough throughout the entire process. She took her time explaining everything in great detail and showed us pictures for better visualization. Her assistant Prado Pi was also very sweet and had props ready as the dentist was explaining things to us. It was a wonderful experience all the way through checkout as the front desk staff were also very nice and helpful. We highly recommend Bright Dental in Carrollwood!

I came in for a cleaning and got excellent treatment with the dental technician missing nothing and yet not going about the procedure roughly. As a matter of fact there were a couple of times I wanted to doze off in that comfortable chair.
Everything was explained very well, the procedure and the cost, before anything was done. I was left with no questions to ask.
The dentist was friendly and gave me a few tips to better clean my teeth in the future.
The facility was set up in a sanitary fashion in case COVID were to surge again. All employees wore masks and latex gloves and expected each customer to enter the premises with a face mask already on.

Update: I had to go in as a part of one tooth came out due to an old filling failure. The front desk supervisor was very helpful, scheduling me for the next day as the doctor was out then.
When I arrived I was immediately called in, X-rays were taken, a curative procedure (crown) was decided upon and I was set with a temporary crown. Since I’m retired and on a fixed income I was concerned about the overall cost but they worked with me, getting a six month interest free arrangement set up while eliminating labor and prep costs. Humana insurance only offers a small discount. All in all it was a very pleasant experience for an unpleasant occurrence.

2nd update: During a regular cleaning visit my dentist, Dr. Sandra S. Herein, found a cavity that was very close to the root canal of a tooth. She suggested it be handled at that time. I agreed and with a minimum of pain she accomplished it perfectly. It involved removing the root canal as well.
The procedure went smoothly also because she and the dental technician, Chris, were very knowledgeable and very thorough in what they did. They even had music of the 2000s on which put all of us in a good mood. Both of their ‘bedside’ manners were as good as they get.
I would unhesitatingly recommend them to anyone else who is in need of dental work.

3rd Update: I had a temporary bridge for the replacement tooth set yesterday. This required shaping the amalgam of the tooth behind it. The entire process, including the elimination of a small surface cavity on the tooth in front, took as much time as it did for the novacaine to take effect. Everything went very smoothly with no pain. Chris fastened the temporary tooth and bridge well. If it proves to be as strong a bond as the temporary crown in my first post above there should be no concern of it coming loose. However, in the remote case that it could, he gave me two packets of Kerr’s Temp-Bond NE. The permanent bridge is scheduled for fitting in three weeks. Dr. Herein worked closely with me on finances, eliminating all costs but the actual product since I’m on a fixed income.

4th Update: My dentist, already solidly booked for the day, agreed to take me on with a diagnosed abcessed tooth. It was especially difficult in that it involved a molar, each of which has three roots. These were each quite thin. Nevertheless she deftly maneuvered through, did root canal work on each of them and got me fitted for a temporary crown, all of this while also handling her scheduled appointments. To say she is a dedicated professional is only touching the surface. I wouldn’t trade her for any other dentist unless one of us were to move away.

5th Update: The abcess recurred so I returned to my dentist. She said this often happens once an initial infection occurs. She recommended swirling warm water mixed with table salt over that side of my mouth for about thirty seconds twice a day after breakfast and before bed. This would help to draw out the infection. (I added ground ginger as an antibiotic.) She wanted to see me again in a month because if that treatment showed no results she would drain the infection. I was pleasantly surprised that a month later the pain and sensitivity had gone down considerably. To help matters along she also suggested using a whole clove and placing it over or near the abcess. That would help to relieve any remaining pain.

I can’t thank Dr. Sandra enough for the amazing work she did on my teeth. I used to be very self-conscious about my smile because it was too gummy with big gaps and baby teeth. Dr. Sandra took the time to listen, explain my options, and make me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. The results are beyond what I ever imagined and I finally have a natural, confident smile that I’m proud to show. Not only is she incredibly skilled, but she’s also caring, and genuinely invested in her patients. If you’re looking for a dentist who combines expertise with care and compassion, Dr. Sandra is the one.

My experience with Melissa taking X-rays was very good. I’m not an easy patient. She was funny, reassuring and good at her job. Dr. Sandra is always the best at explaining the need for dental preventive care without being condescending.

My first visit was yesterday. Staff was very helpful and welcoming. Filling the paperwork on your first visit is very straightforward and quick. Did my X-rays and met with Dr. Sandra who is very helpful and shows a lot of knowledge and care for her patients. She set a plan for me and we will be proceeding with the plan. Thank you Dr. Sandra.

My wife and I changed dentists because we moved and our old dentist, while doing good work, did not accept our insurance (Medicare).
Our first experience was today with BrightNow, and everyone we came into contact with was very nice. Explained everything our insurance covers, which will save us quite a bit in out of pockets expenses we had with our past dentist.
Dr. Henein was very through and nice. Our first experience with Digital X-Rays, which included a 360 degree image. Definitely 21st century technology combined with good old-fashioned courtesy and competence. If you live in the Carrollwood area, I’d think about seeing Dr. Henein and her very nice staff. North Dale Mabry location in Grand Plaza.

I had the pleasure of having Jorel Belarmino as my dental hygienist, and I couldn't be more impressed! He is incredibly thorough, taking the time to explain every step of the process and ensuring that I felt comfortable the entire time. Not only is he efficient, but he’s also very friendly, making the visit feel relaxed and enjoyable. It's clear that Jorel takes great pride in his work, and his ethical approach to patient care really stands out. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a top-notch dental hygienist!
